<p>Shed Menu adds visibility conditions to WordPress navigation menu items. You can show or hide each item based on three conditions:</p>
<ul>
<li>Login status (logged in / logged out / everyone)</li>
<li>Date range (start datetime, end datetime)</li>
<li>User roles (administrator, editor, author, contributor, subscriber, or custom roles)</li>
</ul>
<p>All conditions are optional and combined with AND logic. This plugin reads the current user’s role information via <code>wp_get_current_user()</code> to evaluate role-based conditions.</p>
<h4>Three ways to use</h4>
<ol>
<li><strong>Standard menus</strong> — Open Appearance <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> Menus, expand any item, and set the conditions inline.</li>
<li><strong>Hand-coded themes</strong> — Use the helper function <code>shedmenu_visible()</code> in your <code>header.php</code> or other template files.</li>
<li><strong>Block editor</strong> — Wrap any blocks in the “Shed Menu — Conditional” block to show/hide them based on the same conditions.</li>
</ol>
<h4>Helper function example</h4>
<pre><code><?php if ( shedmenu_visible( [ 'login' => 'in' ] ) ) : ?>
    <li><a href="/mypage/">My Page</a></li>
<?php endif; ?>
</code></pre>
<h4>Shortcode example</h4>
<pre><code>[shedmenu_visible login="in" start="2026-04-01" end="2026-04-30" roles="administrator"]
This content is only visible to administrators between April 1 and April 30.
[/shedmenu_visible]
</code></pre>
<h4>日本語の説明</h4>
<p>WordPress 標準ナビゲーションメニューに、メニュー項目単位の表示条件を追加します。</p>
<ul>
<li>ログイン状態（ログイン中 / ログアウト中 / 全員）</li>
<li>表示期間（開始日時・終了日時）</li>
<li>ユーザーロール（管理者 / 編集者 / 投稿者 等）</li>
</ul>
<p>全ての条件は任意で、AND 条件で組み合わされます。</p>
<p>外観 <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> メニュー画面で各項目に条件を設定できます。テーマで <code>wp_nav_menu()</code> を使わず HTML 直書きしている場合は <code>shedmenu_visible()</code> ヘルパー関数を使ってください。Gutenberg では「Shed Menu — Conditional」ブロックで任意のブロック群を条件表示にできます。</p>
<h3>Third-Party Services</h3>
<p>This plugin does not connect to any external services. All processing happens on your own server.</p>

<p>Have you ever used WordPress’ new block editor Gutenberg and wished for a way to influence, when and to whom blocks are shown? We’ve been in this situation, that’s why we came up with Block Control. This nifty little plugin allows you to control, whether a block should be displayed under certain circumstances or not. And that’s of course true for both WordPress’ default blocks and blocks added by third-party plugins.</p>
<p>You can hide blocks based on:</p>
<ul>
<li>Device types (desktop, mobile, screen reader)</li>
<li>Login status</li>
<li>Date (start and end date)</li>
<li>User roles</li>
<li>Page types</li>
<li>Posts of the current post type</li>
<li>Feeds</li>
<li>Page number in numbered pages (in archives and search results)</li>
</ul>
<p>Additionally, you can set an inline formatting to display certain text only for screen readers.</p>

Block Control

I've used this plugins on two websites now. It works just great. The visibility option for different devices is very useful.

It works just smoothly

Lovely helper plugin lets you select, if you need to be logged in to see a block in a post or page and whether it should be hidden on certain devices.

Currently the plugin description may be a little vague ("it does what?") but the plugin works right out of the box and may be for many a smart solution for a simple task. 

Well done, Matthias and Simon. 👏🏻

Nice little helper plugin

Block Control allows you to take control of all the blocks on your website. Tailor a unique experience for your visitors.
